As the landscape evolves for Asian olefins and aromatics markets, such as ethylene and propylene, industry players are adapting their strategies to reflect the shifting trends and fundamentals. This presentation explores:

Key drivers and outlook for the Asia ethylene and propylene markets in 2016

As demand growth slows and oversupply dampens prices, the synthetic elastomers market faces both challenges and opportunities over the medium-to-long term. This presentation analyses the market outlook, covering:

Recent surges and crashes in synthetic elastomers, with a focus on Asia

The impact of the structural lengthening in Asia on SBR and BR trade flows

The interaction of natural and synthetic elastomers – a price substitution myth?

As the prevailing low crude oil environment and surplus capacity force the PET and polyester chain towards a ‘new normal’, ICIS examines the market and feedstock situation, along with the global supply/demand outlook. This presentation covers:

Recent and potential trends in the polyester chain (PX, PTA, MEG)

The outlook for PET and the polyester chain, in Asia and globally

Potential risks, costs and scenarios for PX, PTA and MEG in the future

Faced with continued volatility and growing competition from other regions such as the Middle East, Asia PU players must be savvy to stay ahead in the market. This presentation explores the market situation and strategies for survival.
